My distraction about fallacies aside, here is my problem with the cash shop:
Yes, it is a way to make extra money for the company, but at what cost is it to us that we are simply not seeing or noticing? How many badly reskinned horses did Alliance gain access to this expansion? Then to see that the designers are capable of putting out cool mounts only if we fork over additional money?
If the top brass of 2007’s Blizzard had been the same current ones we have now from Blizzard/Activision, loved mounts like Ashes of Al’ar and Invincible would not be drops - they’d be in the store for $25.
